Here’s what USA Today reported:

A man in Florida who police say made threats on social media against former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance, was arrested less than a week after a would-be assassin opened fire at Trump’s rally.

Police in Jupiter, Florida, said on Friday that Michael M. Wiseman is facing charges of written threats to kill after an investigation found that he made multiple threats against Trump, Vance and their families.

Trump was wounded in the assassination attempt during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last Saturday. One attendee died and two others were injured.

Trump is fresh from the Republican National Convention, where he thanked Americans for their support during his first speech since the shooting. This week, Trump announced that “Hillbilly Elegy” author Vance is his pick for vice president.
